Day Trip’s Accessibility

Day Trip Festival organizers say the event is designed to be fully accessible and will provide a range of accommodations for attendees with disabilities.

The venue is wheelchair accessible, with designated routes connecting parking, entrances, stages, vendors, and viewing areas across the asphalt and grass grounds.

Attendees are expected to navigate between stages independently or with a companion, and personal mobility devices such as wheelchairs, scooters, walkers, and canes are permitted, though rentals will not be available on site.

Charging for motorized mobility devices will be offered at the Accessibility Services Hub, which also serves as the central location for requesting accommodations, receiving an accessibility wristband, and accessing event support services. The wristband is free, valid for the duration of the festival, and may include access for one companion if needed.

Accessible viewing areas will be available at designated stages on a first-come, first-served basis, with capacity limits and basic etiquette rules in place, including restrictions on saving spots and smoking.

Service animals are permitted throughout the venue when properly verified and under handler control, while emotional support animals and pets are not allowed.
